The best baby gifts are those that can last a life time…the ones that get “ohhs and ahhhs” and keep the mommies talking for days. Our suggestion for anyone searching for the perfect gift for a new baby (or toddler, or anyone for that matter) are the stunning stroller and full sized blankets at Butterscotch Blankees. Loved by the Kardashians, and featured on the Today Show, these blankets are super special and are certain to become a keepsake for years to come. You choose 2 color,s an accent and main color and then you get to personalize it with the name and a date if you wish. We like it kept simple with neutral shades and one name or the child’s initials, but if you want to make a real statement, go wild with neons and monograms. We went with the skull and crossbones in classic black & gray…even when our tot reaches the dreaded teenage years, we’re pretty certain he’ll still think his blanket is cool.We think that’s the best part about Butterscotch Blankees, you can make the blanket original and your own, taking into consideration the style preferences and color favorites of your wee recipient. Plus, if it’s made it onto a Kardashian’s radar, then you know its something super lux and fabulous.

There are few things more heartbreaking then seeing your sweet baby crying due to a red and sore bottom. It happens in a blink of an eye to even the most diligent diaper changers. We use nappy cream so much that we wanted to switch over to a more natural and safer balm, so that our wee one was exposed to less harmful chemicals and treated with environmentally safe products. We’ve been fortunate enough to get to test out Indie Lee’s Baby Balm, an all natural diaper rash ointment. It’s been super effective on our tot’s tush…especially with all the beach trips and sandy diapers lately. Their Baby Balm is also perfect for red chins and cheeks for all the drooly teethers too, just make sure you get two pots or set some aside. Indie Lee has lots of other all natural goodies for mom too…scrubs, oils, shampoos…pamper yourself and your baby’s bum too.
